Profile

Smell

Classic Chardonnay aromas of pear, ripe apple, and Meyer lemon dominate the nose of this pretty, unoaked offering, along with a hint of mineral freshness, lanolin, and beeswax.

Taste

Textured and elegant on the palate, with flavours of apple, citrus pith, melon rind, and orange marmalade. The acidity is perfectly balanced, lending a refreshing zip to the dry finish.

Pairing

Easy-going and balanced, this crowd-pleaser of a Chardonnay would be a great match for fresh summer salads, grilled fish, or herb-roasted chicken.

Aromas and Flavours

Peach

Fuzzy peach candies, or real-life fuzzy peaches fresh from a fresh B.C fruit stand.

Apple

From Granny Smith to Red Delicious, apple makes for a delightfully crisp aroma.

Pear

A romantic picnic in the orchard, with your partner and their favourite white wine.

Melon

Sweet and fruity, with a particular flavour/scent that resembles persimmons

Lemon-lime

Common in cool climate white wines, this aroma can range from fresh citrus to lemon zest.

Description

We're longtime fans of Domaine de Castelnau, which has been helmed for the last 26 years by husband and wife team Béatrice and Christophe Muret. Under their careful direction and thoughtful farming, the estate has been awarded the High Environmental Value (HVE) Certification level 3 - the highest possible recognition of the work the Muret family does to protect their precious natural environment. The winery is housed in a centuries-old building just outside the village of Castelnau de Guers, midway between the Massif Central mountains and the Mediterranean Sea. Warm summer days coupled with cooling maritime breezes create a perfect microclimate for ripening grapes. Like all their wines, grapes for this unoaked Chardonnay are harvested at night when they are at their coolest, to preserve refreshing acidity and balance. Serve at about 8 C and enjoy over the next two years.
